single pipe on a viper?

clutching will provided you this biggest gain from the items you mentioned.
Dont change the silencer, stock is the best.
 
what is the difference between the triple pipes and the single pipe?...i heard that the single pipe gives you more tork and saves weight
 
mostly as weight savings. snowtech did an article a few years back, they gained about 4 hp but dropped something like 12-16 pounds off the front end of the sled. that was with the bender single and can
 
i tried a viper with slp pipes, carbon tech reeds and a clutch kit last week and there isin't a big difference between that one and mine.
 
i only got a bender silencer, a boss seat, fly handlebars, a transfer kit but i dont have annything on the motor yet. Im thinking of buying some pipes or a big bore kit. The other viper barely beats mine
 
A viper with triple pipes, will smoke ya!!Its like 33 extra horse power.It must not be set up properly.
 
Yes they save a little weight, but there is much more tuning to be aware of with the Viper. If you are a novice in tuning a modded 2-stroke I really would not recommend the pipes. SLP are IMO probably the best all around pipes available for the Viper, but as I mentioned it isn't that easy. You should get an aftermarket head or a head mod to even the compression ratio out. I recommend running EGT's. With the hard advancing ignition around 8500 rpms' it makes this sled more tempormental to exhaust temps, hence burndowns. I ran pipes for one season on mine (CPR's) and ended up going back stock and I really don't regret it. The sled is better on fuel, infact much better and has better low end trail response with the stock exhaust. IMO, there are so much faster sleds out there now anyways (F7's, APEX's, Machs etc.) what's the use. I like the reliability and good trail manners of the Viper just the way it is. Bender single?? Not alot of guys have tried them. I know the silencer is a waste of time and money though.
 
SLP triples save 4-5 pounds.
As Journeyman stated, pipes are not for everyone. If you want 800-900 power out of a 700, then pipes are the way to go. A piped Viper can be reliable with the right set up. However you wont get the same fuel mileage as stock, but it ain't to bad either. About the same as a 900 twin, in most cases.
 
Not sure of your guys setup and I have never ridden a piped Viper other than my own a few years ago. I can tell you mine with the CPR's was flat on the bottom end, then came on like crazy once you were up in the R's. It had long legs, but for my type of riding in the UP, etc. I like the stocker setup better. We used to hang out on the lake alot when I first went up there, but we now go further north for better trails. I run a 1.25" track, TPI's, have the updated shocks, a 2004 pleated seat ,a blue Viper-S type ski bottoms and a Heavy Hitter clutch setup. It rails pretty good on the trails.
